Sinclair Bay was built in 1990 by Niels Erik Hansen, in Dyerborg, Denmark. She was designed as a dreamboat collaboration between the owners and the Danish Naval Architect John Sorensen.

The result of this collaboration was a beautiful, solid, incredibly well built motor sailor, that is perfect for a couple, and guests to cruise in comfort and style wherever they may want to go.

The quality of craftsmanship and careful thought that went into this boat is evident in every detail of her hull, interior,   her systems, and rigging.

Layout/ interior:

Forward she has a double berth off center to starboard, surrounded in beautiful teak tones.  The forward hatch provides plenty of light and air, while the watertight portlight allows in even more light.  Aft of the berth to port is a very large hanging locker, with plenty of room for a full wardrobe for two.

To starboard, her head is spacious, with a marine toilet, a sink, and plenty of storage.

The galley is truly special with pressurized water, a great Optimus two burner CNG stove, and an incredibly efficient, low energy Isotherm refrigerator. The galley has a good amount workspace, and plenty of extra storage space.

Opposite the galley is the main cabin table and benches with room for four.  The table drops to create a very comfortable double guest bunk.

Her Pilot house is a perfect union of form and function.  The traditional helm station is on the starboard side.  It has everything you need, and nothing you don't- From the easily readable Ritchie compass, to the wheel, her engine controls, to her custom carved drop away captain's seat.  To port is a very comfortable bench/ locker containing safety equipment, PFDs, a flair kit, Med kit, etc.  Access to the engine is easy via the hatch in the center of the pilot house.

Aft is the incredibly charming rear cockpit.  The removable varnished teak table begs to be set at sunset dinners for four.  The cockpit is fully enclosed in canvas that can be easily removed in sections to allow air on sweet summer days.  Sail controls are also reached easily from the cockpit.  There is also a removable tiller so that one can run the boat from aft. There is plenty of stowage under each of the benches.

Hull/Decks:

Her hull is in perfect shape.  Each year the boat has been hauled out in the spring for maintenance, inspection, and a fresh coat of paint topsides and bottom.

Her teak decks are spacious and laid out for easy boat handling.  They are in great shape.  Access to the mast and boom are easy from atop the cabin house deck.

Sails & Rigging:

Her main is in great shape, as is her Genoa.  The Genoa is loaded onto a Harken MK 2 roller furling system. All sheets, and roller reefing controls lead aft to the aft cockpit.

Her mast and boom are in great shape.  The boom has been stored inside and varnished each winter.

The standing rigging is simple, high, quality, and overbuilt, like the rest of the boat.

Her running rigging is in great shape with many seasons left on most halyards, and sheets.

Engine:

Her original Perkins Prima M50 engine has been meticulously maintained throughout the life of the boat.  It has been kept winterized and heated each winter.  She has a Velvet Drive series 71C transmission with a 2.91:1 ratio.

Access to the engine is easy via a pull away hatch in the pilot house.

Electrical:

Her Deep cycle 12 volt engine charged battery runs all systems on the boat.  The electric panel is neatly laid out and labeled in Danish (very easy to tell what is what).  Everything works perfectly.

There is a basic lighting system throughout the boat that provides plenty of light.

The isotherm ASU- SP refrigeration system draws very little while keeping everything cool.
